New York Supreme Court
114 Misc. 416 (1921)
- Written by Alex Ruskell, JD
Facts
John Madden (plaintiff) was a New York resident, and John Rosseter (defendant) was a California resident. Both of them owned a half-interest in Friar Rock, a racehorse. Under their written agreement, Rosseter was to have possession of Friar Rock in California in 1919 and 1920, and Madden was to have possession of Friar Rock in Kentucky in 1921 and 1922. When 1921 arrived, Rosseter refused to give up Friar Rock. Madden sued Rosseter in New York Supreme Court, asking that the court order Rosseter to give Madden the horse.
